4/17 - squats [repPR 110/242x10. First squat repPR in '15/since Dec. Turned into a set of breathing squats, but I wanted/needed a repPR today, so just decided 'Fuck It. If it crushes me, then it crushes me.'], knee raises, calf press, leg xt, sauna
Lessons Learned - John Welbourn: "You make their own prisons in life, regardless of how much you want to blame those around you.
If 20 bucks or 60 minutes a day is what is preventing you from reaching your goals, get a new job or set an alarm clock. You have to make time for it. No goal was ever attained by just thinking about. No amount of dreaming gets your ass in shape...
If it is important, you will find a way to make it happen. If $20 is the difference between success and failure, ride a bike, skip the bar one night a month, or brew your coffee at home and save the $1.45 at Starbucks. If meeting your goals by fitting in your training into your busy schedule means you have to wake up at 4 AM to get in your training, throw away your TV and go to bed. Because there are thousands of people meeting their goals by prioritizing what is important, waking up early and making it work. I always smile when I see a video of a guy squatting in his home garage gym at 5 AM with snow on the ground. Whining about 20 bucks makes you sound like an unsuccessful fucking loser. And complaining you can’t find 60 minutes a few days a week to train makes you sound like a lazy incompetent fuck...
No amount of supplements, macronutrient timing or stretching will replace sleep and sunlight when it comes to performance...
Training is a long slow road. And it requires you to prepare for your long journey by learning the basics. If you never take the time to learn the basics, you will fall for every lie and piece of bullshit charlatans peddle. Nine out of 10 times, the most successful plans are the simplest ones. Stop dieting and make food quality a lifestyle. Stop exercising and start training. People who exercise just want to get sweaty; training implies you have a plan and a goal."
